Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Okay! Fresh from viewing number three.

Dom wears his ring in dreams but not in real life, but at the end (from plane on) we don't see his left hand.

  • Pete, I'm sorry, I was distracted and couldn't quite focus on
whether we hear the slowed Piaf motif in the end shot. But I'm pretty sure it was during the credits.

  • As for the
safes in Mal's house and at the end, they were very different. Mal's had a dial and Fischer's had a keypad. With the lightbulb outline.

  • According to amyth, Dom and Mal were not
having a conversation while Fischer pere and fils were talking.

  • I noticed another annoying pronunciation thing. Half of the time they say "say-to" and half "sigh-to." " Based on the credits spelling (Saito) it should be the latter.

  • I also realized this time that they were
crafting the heist as they went along. They used elements of Fischer's subconscious that they discovered along the way.

Effing brilliant. Don't think I'll see it again in theaters, but glad to have ponied up for Imax.

smonster,

thanks for this. Beau and I want to go see it again, and I was wondering if I should do imax the 2nd time.

Oh! And my roommate went with us, and she hadn't seen it or even a trailer, had no idea what it was about. She didn't even know who was in it until she saw the poster at the theater. She totally loved it and is already planning to go again.

eta you're welcome, le n!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm really tempted to see it again, maybe in IMAX. I don't know if my head can handle it, though. It's so compelling.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

this movie's DVD sales are going to be off the chart.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just watched Jennifer's Body. The marketing totally misrepresented this movie! It's not a horror movie; it's a teen drama with horror elements. And some bits of comedy that are of varying success. I really liked it. Plei, I want to read your thoughts now.
